New watch alert!!

I told myself I should put some distance between Submariner purchases, but I had "the itch" that needed scratching and nothing else on my short list was available.

Today I left work early to meet up with our very own DatejustRyan to look at a watch, and walked out of his office with this:

















My cellphone camera is awful, but it is a two tone Submariner ceramic with blue bezel and dial. I could not be happier!

Thank you Ryan, I look forward to doing business with you again!

Thanks everyone! Great pictures from Mark and Charles.

I LOVE how the blue and gold look together. This is my first watch with YG and it is amazing how beautiful yet different the gold looks from direct sunlight, to a well lit room, to low light. The only problem is now I find myself lusting after a full yellow gold blue ceramic Sub!
